Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp: A Rare Cause of Ileo-ileal Intussusception in Adolescents-Case Report and Review of Literature

Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is a rare benign polypoidal mesenchymal tumor. It most often affects middle-aged adults with a variable clinical presentation. The most common site is the stomach, followed by the small intestine. We report a case of a 16-year-old male who presented with the classical features of intussusception. Surgical resection of the ileocecal region revealed a pedunculated polypoidal mass. Histopathological examination showed a submucosal tumor with an onion-skin appearance comprising spindle cells, loose stroma, and mixed inflammatory infiltrate, predominantly eosinophils. IFP should be considered in the differential diagnosis even in pediatric patients with intestinal obstruction because of its bearing on management.
